What is it?
A 360 review process is a method for measuring individual performance, and effectiveness, in addition to identifying potential areas for growth. The term is called a "360 review" because feedback is solicited from all directions in the organization (Peers, Direct Reports, Superiors, including a self-evaluation). It is especially helpful in identifying potential blind spots.
📝 FYI: A blind spot is an area(s) where a person may rate themselves lower or higher than their coworkers. The results may reveal hidden talents or areas for development.
Why should I do it?
Constructive feedback is vital for growth. Pushing outside of your comfort zone to receive and provide helpful feedback shows that you care about your development. The objective of the feedback is to give yourself an opportunity to understand how your work is viewed in total. The process enables feedback from your peers, superiors, and direct reports on your strengths, growth areas, and values.
“Average players want to be left alone. Good players want to be coached. Great players want to be told the truth.” ~ Doc Rivers
How do I do it?
Complete a self-evaluation
Give yourself 10-15 minutes to complete a self-evaluation. You can add questions related to your values if you’d like.
Ask for feedback
After you complete the self-evaluation, send this link to a peer, superior, and any direct reports so they can provide feedback. You may prefer to ask for a quick meeting. Make sure you let them know what you will ask beforehand so they can prepare thoughtful answers.
💡 Quick Tip: If you don’t have a formal review process at your company, try to utilize this quick exercise once every quarter.
Create a plan
After the first round of feedback, create a goal or plan to approach growth areas and enforce strengths. After a year of feedback, make sure to update your Passions, Values, and Goals.
What’s next?
After you complete the activity, we will receive your answers via email and review them plus send you a copy for your records. We will also send whoever provided you with an eval their answers for reference. We recommend scheduling a short meeting with them to discuss responses and are happy to support in any way.
